I know that is a while back but when I look at the current structure of the course at Warwick, I would still not be keen for my taste, but then I again I have the benefit of hindsight.

I recommend
Plane Euclidean geometry theory and problems
Introduction to inequalities
Mathematical olympiad primer.
If you can work through these books you put yourself in a very good position for success in the competition.

Do you think I'd lose marks in an m1 exam if my working was messy. Basically, I did a lot of writing before I finally realised the trick thus giving me the right answer but it was very messy so would the examiner look through every bit or skim through it
